Introduction: Physical exercise is commonly used as primary treatment or as an adjunct to pharmacological therapy, presenting promising results that lead to a reduction of breast cancer between 30% -40% with a minimum of 3 hours of weekly physical activity at intensity moderate to vigorous. However, the association between endurance strength and benefits on quality of life in women diagnosed with breast cancer is still unclear. Objective: To determine the benefits of resistance resistance training on the quality of life in women diagnosed with breast cancer, through a systematic review of the literature. Methods: The study responds to a systematic review of the literature according to the guidelines described in the PRISMA statement and in the Cochrane Manual for conducting Systematic Reviews of Interventions version 5.1.0. The systematic literature search was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Trip Medical Database, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scielo electronic libraries and ScienceDirect, between the years 1990 and 2018. Results: Of the 404 studies found, 8 met the inclusion criteria. All the studies evaluated included the population with breast cancer and evaluated the quality of life through protocols with a length of 8 weeks to 12 months, frequency of 1 to 5 sessions / week, duration per session between 30 and 90 minutes and intensity of the 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate (HR max) or 35% to 50% of one repetition maximum (RM). Conclution: The results on the quality of life and the effects of resistance training in patients with CS are encouraging. The analyzed studies show a direct association for the state of health between resistance training and quality of life. Additionally, it is evidenced that resistance strength training favors the state of health, as well as psychological parameters, pain symptoms, physical functionality, sexual functionality and enjoyment, fatigue, mood, emotional health, cognitive health, body composition and capacity physical.
